Beschreibung
The present work investigates multilevel governance (MLG) theory across three organizational levels of government in Serbia using the theory of agility architecture. The findings reveal relationships between agility capability factors that influence the degree of autonomy at different governmental levels, and competencies and technology being determinant for a multilevel governance system. At the same time, a decentralized multilevel governance system provides conditions for the enhancement of agility drivers at local and state levels. The practical implications of this research should prove to be directly useful to government officials, various governmental agencies at different levels, and international organizations such as European Union institutions and United Nations agencies that deal with developments of governmental policies, processes and managerial practices. Indirect implications are also foreseen for large and complex multinational companies that face operational challenges in multi-country operations.
